A gentlemen who had been in the
woods near Claymont Monday
afternoon brought to the office Of
The Morning News that evening a
branch broken from an elm tree,
which contained about its stem a
palpitating mass of white, fluffy
looking insects. There were millions.
At distance the twig looked like a
bunch of raw cotton. Closer inspee-
ton revealed the fact the singular
looking mites were small flies in
course of rapid development from
what appeared to be a state of
chrysalis. As they gained strength
they fiuttered away.-Morniag Nescs

4 DELAWARE COLLEGE opened on
Wednesday with a distressingly
small number of students, we are
sorry to say. We believe, however,
that had the institution been liber-
ally advertised the result of opening
day would have been far different.
The recent trouble has not been for
gotten, and a lack of genuine an
nouncement to the whole country
through the press has done the
"time-honored" place of learning no
good. We fear it is case of penny
wise and pound foolish plan that
has been carried out. Perhaps we
argue not wisely. We hope yet to
see large attendance of students.

Z NEVER FOR many years has there
been SO favorable and promising as
opening of the Academy of Newark
an that which took place on Tues
day last. The number of students
is greater by fifty per cent. than the
number with which the school Be-
gan a year ago, and greater by over
a hundred per cent. than it was two
years ago, when DIR. Raub took
charge. The two prominent ideas
which the Doctor has continued to
insist on, first that the education
impaired here shall be thorough and
practical, and second that knowl-
edge of English shall not be neglect
ed, seem to be popular with our
people, if we may judge by the
wonderful success of the school.
The rapid rise of the old Academy
shows admirably what may be &C.
complished in school work by man
who thoroughly understands his
business, and especially the manage
ment of boys and girls.
No institution in the country is
coming up more rapidly than this
one, and it looks now as if the time
were not far distant when the Acad-
envy will be as prosperous as in its
best days.
We notice one thing that speaks
especially fayorably for the school
and that is the fact that it is mos
popular at home where it is best
known, for nearly all the student.
in attendance are from within {
radius of seven miles, and all ar,
volunteers, not single one having
been solicited to attend by any one
connected with the school. We hop
that when the good work that is be
ing done here becomes known t,
the State at large, that it will hastel
to accept the liberal offer made b,
the Trustees last winter, and max
it a State Normal School.
MAYOR RHoADEs and his polio
force are being proded with shar
stick. The Wilmington papers ar
urging them to arrest violators c
the law, and to do this there mus
be direct evidence-a witness t
their actions. 1t seems rather
difficult thing to find witness. TIL
Republican says: I'VE still hold tn
position that for either the Mayor {
one of his policeman to swear oil
warrents to raid every place whel
they may have reason to believe IL
law is violated, puts them in IL
position of common informers, an
as such they would lose not onl
the dignity which should attach to
police force, but would d9tract frol
its efficiency also
This is true, no doubt, but isn't
the duty of police to be informer
Are they not appointed to keep Il
peace, to make arrests, and brir
charges, and bear testimony?
Kidding city of n pest or nuisan,
by becoming common informe
would benefit that city then tn,
would hardly lose their dignity
efficiency. We think the who
duty lies with the Mayor and poll
and they must search out crimina
where such exist.
